2. “Radio” – Sylvan Esso

3. “Friend” – FRND

Why it rocks: “Friend” is a surprisingly relatable song whose bubbly electronics provide balance to FRND’s melancholy lyrics about a breakup between friends.

4. “Tomorrow” – Shakey Graves

Why it rocks: “Tomorrow” reveals Shakey Graves’ raw style that we’ve come to know and love. Raw, plucked electric guitar and Alejandro Rose-Garcia’s bluesy voice are all this song needs.

5. “Rhythm & Blues” – The Head and The Heart

Why it rocks: The Head and the Heart continue to tease us with releases from their upcoming album “Signs of Light” (out Sept. 9). “Rhythm & Blues” is perhaps the most emotional song we’ve heard from Signs of Light so far and it’s quickly becoming our favorite.
